Notorious Bandit Leader Kachalla Dogo Isah Killed in Clash with Repentant bandits Faction in Kaduna

By: Zagazola Makama

Kachalla Dogo Isah, a notorious bandit leader involved in numerous attacks in Kaduna State, has been reported dead following a violent clash with a rival faction in Kachia Forest on January 7, 2025.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that Dogo Isah and his gang attempted to rustle cattle from a camp led by the repentant bandit leader Kachalla Musa when the deadly confrontation ensued.

Dogo Isah, who had a notorious reputation for terrorizing residents of Kachia and parts of Kajuru Local Government Areas (LGAs), was the cousin of Tukur Sharme, another bandit leader killed in a similar fratricidal clash in September 2024.

The clash that led to Dogo Isah’s death resulted in him and two of his gang members being killed during the exchange of gunfire with Kachalla Musa’s group.

Kachalla Musa and his faction had recently embraced the peace initiative offered by the government and security agencies in Kaduna State, following a meeting with stakeholders in Tsohon Gaya village in Chikun LGA.

The initiative, which encourages former bandits to surrender and cease hostilities, had been extended to Dogo Isah, but he rejected the offer and continued his criminal activities, including cattle rustling and violent attacks.

Dogo Isah’s group has been responsible for several high profile attacks in the region, including the deaths of members of the 305 Artillery Demo Regiment in Makaranta Forest, Kagarko LGA, and an officer of the defunct Sect 4 OPWP near Gadan Mallam village along the Abuja-Kaduna road in 2022.

More recently, Dogo Isah’s group attacked Nigerian Navy personnel at a checkpoint in Kujama on January 5, 2025, resulting in the deaths of two Navy personnel and the theft of their AK-47 rifles.

While Dogo Isah’s death is seen as a significant blow to insurgent activities in Kaduna State, it has raised concerns among the recently repentant members of Kachalla Musa’s group. There is apprehension that Dogo Isah’s remaining followers may seek to retaliate, potentially destabilizing the fragile peace in the region.

Zagazola has obtained a Photos of Dogo Isah and two of his gang members at the scene of the incident have been obtained from sources and are being circulated for public awareness.
